When I was a young man in college, studying nuclear engineering, the American nuclear industry was unrivaled. Our designs were the most efficient and most powerful and the safest. They were sold, copied or imitated around the globe. The first wave of construction employed many thousands with good salary and wages – the just rewards for honest, productive labor.

Today, we still have a limited capability but components are fabricated across the globe. Some critical ones have only a single foreign supplier. There is no remaining US-owned nuclear reactor vendor.

The Left has done its best to destroy the US nuclear industry and it has almost completed its work. The US is weaker and poorer because of the political attacks from the radical Left.
